Crying Won't Help You, Praying Won't Do You No Good

Recorded in 1929:

If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
And the water gonna come in, have no place to stay

Well all last night I sat on the levee and moan
Well all last night I sat on the levee and moan
Thinkin' 'bout my baby and my happy home

If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
And all these people have no place to stay

Now look here mama what am I to do
Now look here mama what am I to do
I ain't got nobody to tell my troubles to

I works on the levee mama both night and day
I works on the levee mama both night and day
I ain't got nobody, keep the water away


I wonder if When the Levee Breaks, which was covered by Led Zeppelin on uber-popular Zoso turned up on our president's highly touted iPod. Or maybe it was dumped with Teaser and the Firecat.
